I've given this a go a few times. It is pretty average. Well done background music. Am I missing something?

The worst song they've recorded since the low points of Pablo Honey.
FTFY "the low points of Pablo Honey" is redundant
BUT, i can't agree on it. I like Burn The Witch. Definitely on the bottom half of my favorite songs on this album, but I enjoy it. Especially that first lift off going into the chorus. So good.

Bottom page'd & I have to repeat because of the intense excitement happening right now: I'm seeing Radiohead play songs live this evening!

I've got to be in a particular mood to listen to everything in the middle (reflective, and it probably helps if it's gloomy outside).
Agreed 100%.
Daydreaming to Identikit is a very enjoyable run of songs but it's difficult to enjoy a record where I find the opening song so unrewarding.
The King of Limbs completely peters out for me after Lotus Flower but at least the first two thirds of the album is great and the opening song is one of the best things they've done.

1. OK Computer
2. In Rainbows
3. Amnesiac
(these three are top tier and kind of interchangable; especially 2 & 3; I go back and forth with those a lot)
4. A Moon Shaped Pool
5. The Bends
6. Hail to the Thief
(second tier; again 5 & 6 could be swapped)
7. Kid A
(in a tier by itself)
8. Pablo Honey
9. The King of Limbs
I really don't like The King of Limbs. There a couple of songs on Pablo Honey that I listen to from time to time.

Sometimes I feel like In Rainbows is the only Radiohead I really need.

Yeah, I'd actually agree with that. OK Computer is my favorite but if you made me only keep and listen to one forever and ever... it would either be In Rainbows or Amnesiac.

I absolutely adore seeing all the In Rainbows love on here.
The Bends was my first Radiohead love, though, so I still hold it in pretty high regard.
Moon Shaped Pool has grown on me quite a bit--Identikit and Deck's Dark, that's some good Radiohead right there.
